It has not been able to accomplish

objects, as given in the constitution,
1. To educate the people in the prin

2- To unite all socialists in one fra

3- To establish co-operative colonies

of a Great Career.
Washington, June, 1ft. (Special.
Many efforts havo been made by publish
ing houses to Induco Justlco Field to con
sent to the publication of his memoirs, Lut
without success. The old justice, who
now lacks only two months of beating all
records for length of scrvlco upon tho su
premo bench, resisted ull these appeals and
adhered to his determination not to give
his memoirs to tho public till after his
death. But I nm a bio to trive you another
short chapter from tho Intensely Interest
ing recollections of tho famous jurist.
A Commercial Transaction.
In explanation of the 6tory that when
ho first went to California howusa peddler
of pocketbooks JuhUco Field writes:
Before I left ew York I purchased a
lot of stationery and the usual accom
paniments of a writing table, us I intend
ed to practice my profession In California.
lho stationer, learning from soino remark
tuudu by my brother Cyrus, who wus with
me at the time, that 1 intended to go to
California, said that I ought to buy somo
chamois skins in which to whip tho sta
tionery, a J they would bo needed Micro to
mako bugs for carrying gold dust. Upon
this suggestion, I bought a dozen skins
for $10. On unpacking my trunk In
MuryBvllle these chamois skins were of
course exposed, und u gcntlemun culling
ut the tent which I then occupied asked
mo what I would tuko for them. I an
swerod by Inquiring what ho would give
for them. He replied at once an ounce
apiece. My nstonlshment nearly choked
me, for an ounro was taken for flu; at
the mint It often yielded $18 or $10 in
coin. I of course let the skins go and
blessed the hunter who brought tho chum
ois down. The purchaser made bags of
the skins, and the profit to him from their
sale amounted to two ounces on each skin
Ironi this transaction tho story arose
that I had sold portmonnales in Marys
villo before practicing law. Tho story has
no other foundation.
Waiting For Clients.
Nothing could bo nioro entertaining
than Justice Field's description of his
llrst experience us a lawyer in California.
As soon us he hud obtained a little money
ho hired u room ut the corner of Cluy and
Montgomery streets, and paid $300 in ad
vance for one month's rent. Ho put out
his shingle and waited for clients, but
nono came. The only employment ho had
was drawing n deed, for which ho charged
un ounce of gold, but tho client thought
that too much, so they compromised on
half un ounce.
"To tell tho truth," says Justice Field,
I was hardly lit for business. I was too
much excited by tho stirring life uround
mo. There was so much to hear 11 nu see
that I spent half my time in the streets
and saloons talking with people from tho
mines, in which 1 was greatly Interested
I felt sure that there would soon be occa
sion In thae quarter for my services.
A firm of merchants to whom young
Field had carried letters of introduction
now offered him n chanco to go to a fron
tier town in which they were interested
It was at tho head of navigation, at the
junction of tho Sacramento and fcatlu
rivers, und was culled v crnon. lin? nicr
chants owned town lots there, and offered
to sell Field some of them on credit. They
cave him u ticket for tho steamer McKlm
which they owned, and the luturo jusuco
set out upon his voyage Jan. 12, loit.
"It was the time of tho great lioou 01
that year." says Justice Field, "and tho
entire upper country seemed to bo untie
wuter. Upon reaching the landing piae
at Hiicramcnto, we took small boat und
rowed to tho hotel. Hiorc I found a great
crowd of earnest and enthusiastic people

an old mlobe building which stood upon
the bank of the river and near wnicn
were numerous tents. Judging by the
number of the tents, there must have been
from 500 to 1,000 people there. When we
reached the adubo and entered the print!
11 room, wo saw a map spread out upon
the counter, containing the plan of a town,
which was called Yubaville. nnd a man
standing behind it. crying out, 'Gentle
men, put your numes down; put. your

seemed to address himself to me. and I
nsked the price of the lots. He answered.

LINCOLN'S PRIVATE CAR.
The War Itello ! Now Ahandoucd and
Conv' gned to J let-ay.
Tho war car jf President Lincoln, the
one in which Lincoln mudo hix visits t
he army In the Virginia campaigns, lit
hich he held consultations with Grant,
hcrmau, Sheridan and other leaders, and
in which finally ho was borne to his lust
resting place, Is now abandoned nnd left
o decay In an out of the way corner in the
Union Pacific car shops ut Omaha. The
most nuignlllccnt car on the iron rails in
its time. Its now cracked, weather lcaten
sides, its shattered windows, rusty brass
railings und I wire Interior offer n mournful
contrast to Its dejmrtcd grandeur.
The car wus built spcclully for Mr. Lin
coln in the military cur shops at Alexan
dria early in 184. It was 43 feet long by
8H feet wido, and was divided into three
compartments. Ihe entrance was by a
door that opened at one end into a narrow
corridor extending tho entire length of the
car. From this passageway doors opened
into the three compartments. Tho one ut
the end of the car was larger than the oth
ers. This was Mr. Lincoln's ofllco and
tudy. It wai furnished with tables und a
sofa nnd reclining chulrs. The sofa was a
combination affair, made of unusual length
to correspond to Mr. Lincoln's physical re
quirements. It was used as a sofa or
lounge during the day, but at night could
be adjusted Into u double bed of two berths.
The walls were furnished with rich cord
ed crimson silk upholstery, and tho frieze
displayed puinted punels of the couts of
arms of the several states. Ihe car wus
adapted to the exigencies of the times, be
ing ironclad, armor pluto being set be
tween tho inner and outer wulls to make it
bulletproof. From this circumstance its
weight wus so great that it wus thought
necessary to place It upon four four wheel
trucks.
Tho car was sent with u quantity of war
material to Cincinnati to be sold In 18(10.
Sidney Dillon of tho Union Pacific pur
chased it with other cars nnd equipment,
and it passed to Omaha. Its connection
with Mr. Lincoln and the fuct that It was
one of tho finest private cars then In exist
enco gave it great temporary public atten
tlon. It was used us a directors' private
car for awhile, but its great weight and
peculiar construction later caused it to be
laid aside. Even as a dining car lor a con
struction gang it proved unsuitable, and
for years it has been disintegrating in idle
ness in the shops at Omaha. Cincinnati

CHILDREN IN HOLLAND.
Little Lads and LaMies In a Scheren
nlgen Kindergarten.
Wandering through the crooked 6trects
of tho little fishing village of Scheuenln
gen, from which the famous Dutch water
ing placo takes its name, I heard merry
shouts of laughter issuing from a garden
inclosed by high walls. The gatowas open
and I peeped in. My curiosity was re
warded by one of the sweetest sights
have ever witnessed. About 20 little Dutch
maids nnd lads, their ages varying from 3
to 6 years, were enjoying a game of ordl
nary American tag, while a little attendant
of ubout 12 years stood by busily knitting
while she watched them. A bell sounded
They all fell In line Uhind the little knit
ter and walked demurely, two by two, In
a serpentine lino around the garden and
disappeared in a long hall, at tho door o
which each child took off its little wooden
shoes and held them in ono hand bchlud
its back.
In the meantime the principal came out
and ' invited me by signs to enter. In tho
hall I noticed the little sabots laid orderly
sldo by side. There were three halls
this kindergarten. In each were 50chil
dren between the ages of 3 nnd ft years
the girls in gowns to their ankles, held
out in a balloon fashion with haircloth
pctticonts, little white shawls pinned over
the shoulders, und caps covering tnei
straight yellow locks.
From this free kindergarten tho childrc
of tho fisher folk, many of them fatherless
derive all care and attention. They aro
taught by the same methods used in Ger
manv. All seemed bright and happy.
one room they were singing quaint little
nursery rhymes ubout boats, so one littlo
fellow made me understand by walkin
across tho fioor rolling like a sailor an
then going through the motions of rowing
a boat and pulling in nets. He with great
glee made mo understand that he would
be a fisherman when he was "so big,"
stretching up his arms nnd smoking an
imaginary pipe. This amused the children
so much and made them shout nnd laugh
so loud thut the teucher wus obliged to
send them to their scuts und end our fun.

Of my three days in Olympla I had one

was tairstricd with wild llowcrs, blue and
yellow nnd purple. Their faces were nil

Peculiarities of Sakhalin.
Curious facts have lately com to light
concerning the island of Sakhalin, which
lies off the eastern coast of Siberia. Cold
winds and sea currents circulate around
It, nnd their effect appears to bo to produce
on the island a reversal or the ordinary
course of nature respecting tho arrange
ment of temperature. Usually tho air is
warmest near sea level nnd coldest on
highlands and mountains, but in Sakhalin
tho coldest air Is found near the sea, nnd
there the plants aro of an Arctic character,
while in tho lofty Interior of the Island the
climate Is mild, and even subtropical

self. The homing pigeon solved the prob
lem. He has a regular pigeon service be
tween his pntlents und himself.
Tho doctor has found time to keep upon
medical torles, take good cure of his
patients and cultivate pigeons, all tnree
cry sucessfully
all. In the first place, the doctor sends to
each patient alnjut whoso condition he
wishes to be posted one or more of the
carrier pigeons. Somo ineniljer or tho
family bus blank? which must bo filled In
with detailed records of time, pulso, tem
perature und respiration. A blank filled,
it is inclosed in an aluminium capsule
made to clasp on the pigeon's leg I his
done, the bird is released and at once
speeds away to the home of the waiting
physician, nt the rate of a mile a minute.
In this way Dr. lying is enabled to Keep
thoroughly in touch w ith his patients nt a
distance, with ubout one-fifth the amount
of travel he would have to endure under
other circumstances. Not only that, but
he is really much better posted, because it
would often happen that he would Ut un
able to pay visits to all, and so perhaps
would miss peeing U6lck person at just the
time when ho wus most- needed. .Now he
can go away from home to visit patients and
feel sure that when he returns reports will
beuwuitlnc him from others. Should these
reports tell him that a call from him is an
absolute necessity, then he goes and tnat
is all there is of it.
It is the lest," says Dr. Lung, "when
establishing a loft of these feathered mes
sengers, to begin with a few pairs or breed
ers, which 6hould be kept confined to tho
loft, with an outside covered aviary if pos
slble, to give them access to the ground,
Tho piegeons, if allowed their liberty, aro
ant to lly away, no matter how long iney
have been in prison. Do not try to tram
the birds until they are 4 months old. Then
take them a mile or two from home In dif
ferent directions. Increase the distance
proportionately from 100 to 200 miles for
the birds in the first season's work. New
York Herald.
Commercial Geography.
Great cities aro seldom pro-eminent for
anv particular line of manufactures. Their
industries are too largo and diversified for
nny one of them to show marked superior
ity over all tho rest. Now and then a great
industry of some city is taken irom it.
When shins were mado of wood, London
was the greatest shipbuilding center of
the world. Then iron ships camo Into use,
nnd London has lost her shipbuilding
trade, which has been transferred to the
Clyde, tho Tyne und the Wear, right ut
tho sources of iron und coal supplies.
The crent vessels in which most ocean
commerce is now carried havo severely af
fected the Interests of some ports. Cities
that once wire seaports are now inland, ns
far ns nny great amount of ocean trallio Is
concerned. Tho largest ships of commereo
could once sail up tho Avon to lJrlstol nnd
the Severn to Gloucester. Tho far larger
ships that now carry commerce cannot
reach these places, but are compelled to
stop nt Avonmouth and Card iff. Cargoes
were formerly landed nsfar up tho Thames
ns London Hridge, but steamers now have
to stop at tho docks, some miles below that
point. Dremen was once one of the world's
greatest commercial cities, but her water
front is now too shallow for deep sea ves
sels, nnd her port Is nt Drcmcrhaven, sev
oral miles below. Hamburg, accessible to
all classes of vessels, though 00 miles from
tho sea, has reaped tho benefit of Hrenien's
misfortune, which, however, has not I
prlved tho latter city of a largo carrying
trade.
Tho making of u town or city may some
times depend upon what seems at first a
trivial circumstance. Silk weaving is con
fined to towns where tho streams are par
ticularlv free from impurities. Some wa
ters arc letter than others for silk dyeing,
nnd this fact gives Leek, Kngland, its pre
eminence, for its waters nro umong the
best for dyeing purposes in Europe. Dur
ton-on-Trent is famous for its ales Its
superior water for brewing purposes Is its
sole advantage. Lhuutnuquan
Spontaneous Combustion of Charcoal.
It has been stated from time to time that
chnrcoul used in building refrigerating
chambers, on shore as well ns onboard ves
sels, has ignited spontaneously. Although
It is known thiit charcoal la liable, under
certain conditions, to take firo spontane
ously, there has lcn no direct evidence
thatit has ever done so In tliecnsesuiiegca.
nnd. with the obitct of settling the ques
tion, an inquiry Into the matter was some
time since undertaken. The facts brought
out bv this investigation uro that, though
frcsblv mado wood charcoal that is, char
coal which has not absorbed its moisture
and oxygen is liable to so called spontane
ous combustion, It is nevtr liable to rcig-
nlto after having Urn exposed to the air for
a day or two. It apj ears conclusive, irom
tests and cxpt riim nts made, that in any
nisi' if after u iiw r.uv l"o lire shows it
self tho charcoal maybe regarded s en
tlrelv free from liability to M.ontanrniw
